LAWMAKERS READY FOR TENTH WEEK IMPORTANT MATTERS BOOKED FOR ATTENTION Await Social Security in Legislators returned to Columbia yesterday to begin the tenth week of the session of the general assembly with a number of important matters claiming attention. Although the finance committee was not expected to report out the general appropriation bill, Chairman S. M.

Ward said he doubted if the measure would be ready before next week, there were several other measures of wide interest to be considered. The house will give third reading to ita $1,050,000 social security bill and send it to the senate, which has already passed a security bill of Ha own that provided for a program to coot $1,996,000.

Mills to authorize construction of another state office building, to "tighten" enforcement of the liquor law and to set up a probation and parole system in the state were scheduled for consideration in the senate.

Miss Hemphill, a brunette With blue eyes, sat curled up in an upholstered chair and.said, "You know I always enjoy rain because just like to sit around and think."
